Queensland’s tallest bridge opened on Sunday, but Brisbane council announced another of its initial five crossings would be scrapped.
Brisbane’s newest bridge, from Kangaroo Point to the CBD, opened on Sunday morning after three years of construction. But in a bittersweet twist, the city council revealed it would build just one more “green bridge” from its initial five-strong lineup.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Brisbane City Council had asked for federal funding to open a business case into its Toowong-West End bridge early next year, but had abandoned plans for the St Lucia-West End bridge.“We’re keen to progress the Toowong to West End Bridge next, in partnership with other levels of government, before the 2032 Games,” he said.
“I look forward to working further with the state and federal governments to deliver more city-shaping projects to keep Brisbane moving,” Schrinner said.
